It seems many Yorkies still have that fighting instinct.
Some of those big birds will swoop at animals that they could not possibly carry away They kill them on the ground and eat what they can right there. I would not take chances even with a tea pot. The huge owls we have around here fly silently and can grab with those huge talons doing a lot of damage. When a young prey bird is hungry it will attack some very strange creatures in an attempt to get a meal.
We have a few crows and black birds around here. Usually when a big hawk comes into the area the crows and other black birds, that are not nearly as big as the hawk, will gang up on it and chase it from tree to tree until it finally leaves for more comfortable lodgings.
Now if I could only find a critter to do that to the bear! |
I agree- I have heard of Owls at night, still have not seen one. I do know they are in the trees-
